Let originally he had Rs. x
Money left after spending=`x - x/3 = (2x)/3`
Amount lost = ` (2x)/3 xx (1/4)=x/6`
Remaining amount after x/6 lost=` (2x)/3 - x/6 =(4x - x)/6 = x/2`
Amount given in the charity=` 3/5 xx x/2 = (3x)/(10)`
Amount left = `x/2 - (3x)/10 =(5x-3x)/(10)= x/5 `
Still he have Rs. 100 left `:. x/5 =100`
